Sketch diary: Holiday in Konstanz

My daughter Kit needs to decide whether to spend her 3rd year of her university life in Konstanz or Berlin. She's already been to Berlin so we thought it would be a good idea to go and check out Konstanz. And of course it was a great excuse for a holiday!

It is so unbelievably beautiful at Bodensee (the German/Swiss/Austrian name for Lake Constance).Here are some sketches from our holiday with shockingly bad text by an enthusiastic German learner (ME!). I hope you like them...

Thursday Afternoon

Here we can see the University of Konstanz.
We sit ourselves on a bench on Mainau
and draw and paint.

I don't take many photos anymore. I used to take hundreds and never look at them again whereas painting the scene helps to fix it in the memory. I have now sewn the sketches into a sweet little book with leaflets and train tickets etc.
